I am sorry that it makes zero since. I can not really comment on your example, as I do not know Arnolds Immigration status. Is he a citizen of the US? But if the baby he had with Maria Shriver was born in Austria, it was be a Natural Born Citizen, by virtue of her American Citizenship. Being a Natural Born Citizen simply means you were born and were a citizen. Period. Not how or where or any of that. If you were a citizen when you were born , you are natural born citizen. On the other side of the coin, if you had to petition and file paperwork and take a naturalization test, prior to obtaining you citizenship, You are a Naturalized citizen. You would have entered America, spent some time as a LPR( Lawful Permanent Resident) and done everything necessary to obtain citizenship (read/write/speak/understand english, not commited a CIMT(crime involving moral turpitude) etc). But in a all reality, I will let you think whatever it is that you want. I just wanted to give you the facts, not trying to argue with you.
